Ice at Last!
Too much sand this winter, not enough ice! :biggrin:
I went on a little hike to visit my favorite frozen cascades (now melting) at Green Mountain Falls yesterday. The cascades were totally stunning. Here's a sampler, more at ESS!

The wide view of Catamount. This is all ice, just a bit of liquid flowing under it or in some small pools.

An abstract. Clear skies are great for ice!

Pebbles, coated in ice. It was a bit tricky getting these shots in the middle of the frozen creek. A wider view at ESS.

This is at the water tower.

And one more, from Crystal. Hope you liked!

Very COOL Stan. #1 and #4 are my faves. Completely unique.

Really like the abstractness of #3 and #4. Very, very nice images.

These are all amazing Stan! I fell in love with photographing ice this winter and you really made me want to go back out and look for some :biggrin:
Posted by Kurt Bowman on March 12, 2009 at 3:19 PM
Stand, #1 is my favorite then #2 and #4 are very striking as well. Makes me want winter to stay around longer! :toast:

Cool collection of images Stan. #1 and #5 are my favorites.
Posted by Jackson Frishman on March 12, 2009 at 3:56 PM
All very nice, Stan. Something about #2 is really appealing to me, though I can't put my finger on why. Maybe something to do with the juxtaposition of solid, liquid and in-between textures. I dig the psychedelia of #3. The blues are pretty electric, but they work in something this abstract. #1 and #5 are sweet too!

Except for the last one, I really like all of these. #2 is a really nice scene. I like #3 a lot, although the oof portion at the bottom is a bit distracting.

The best thing about this post is that it's not multiple images of the same thing. You've really changed it up nicely.

Good stuff! I'm envious that you seem to be getting out so much lately!
Posted by Gabi Lach on March 12, 2009 at 5:38 PM
Hi icy Stan. :biggrin: Love #1. It's the best for me.
Posted by Angela Classen on March 12, 2009 at 5:52 PM
Very, very cool :wink: My faves are #3 & #5. Love the very abstract look of #3. The color of the reflecting sky in the ice is great.
Posted by Erik Stensland on March 12, 2009 at 6:32 PM
Great job Stan! I particularly like what you are doing in #3!
Posted by Morris McClung on March 12, 2009 at 6:56 PM
More good work, Stan. I like 1,3, and 4
Posted by John Mumaw on March 12, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Yeah, I liked!
Real nice to see that stuff again, especially #'s1, 4 & 5.
Real glad you were able to take such good advantage of what ice is left.

Very nice set there stan. I like 4 and would like to have a little more DOF. Small nit really.
Posted by Guy Schmickle on March 12, 2009 at 10:07 PM
Cool stuff (pardon the pun)! I really, really like #s 1, 3 and 4.
Posted by Grant Collier on March 12, 2009 at 11:17 PM
#2 and #6 don't do much for me, but #3 and #4 are great! Is this the waterfall at the beginning of the Catamount trail (named, I think, Catamount Falls), near the town of Green Mountain Falls? I've know of the town but haven't heard of a waterfall called Green Mountain Falls.

Edit: nevermind, looks like you identified these as Crystal and Catamount.

Great collection, Stan! Hard to pic a fav - but there is something about #5 that I really like. You're inspiring me to get back out this weekend...can't wait to play!
Posted by Heather Nilson on March 13, 2009 at 3:15 PM
I love #s 1, 3, and 5 (in that order) best, and I enjoyed them all! :toast:
Posted by Don Grall on March 13, 2009 at 11:34 PM
Great stuff, Stan. Particularly liked 1,3, and 4
Posted by Paul Wegemann on March 14, 2009 at 9:59 PM
Cool stuff, Stan. I like ice abstracts. I love #1 except for the dark spot at LR, and I also really like #5.
Posted by Dan Walters on March 15, 2009 at 8:44 PM
Great images! Like the ice and the motion in the background in the first image.
